did business in fruit, vegetables, and
poultry on Saturday last that was simply
enormous. ! tell you, my iudulgent friend,
there Is nothing In this world tells like young
blood. Both Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Chandler
are in the rosy and vigorous forenoon OF
life, and the sun rises on no brighter or
more enterprising brace OF merchants than
these same gentlemen. AS have so often
predicted, they are getting there on the
gallop, too. 1t does me good to encounter
wide awake people. never find these
gentlemen with sticks In their eyes. They
buy their poultry, dress 1t themselves, sell
it as close as any firm In the market, deliver
1t promptly, and enjoy the confidence and
esteem OF every one who deals with them.
Are you one Of these?
AS supposed-in fact, plainly stated
the opening of IL. Il. Woodard q Co.'s new
store corner of Fifteenth and streets, on
Saturday last, was most gratifying sue

and, as fingered In the doorway, laying
the foundation for the singing old cold now
on hand, heard numerous expressions OF
kindred import. 1t is surely to the credit
of Messrs. Woodland that, Notwithstanding
the finish OF their store was still incomplete,
they did not disappoint the public by any
postponement OF the opening. Now just
see what It is to please the eye. Do you

Ing and attractive display that he dido or
course ON willing to allow great deal
for location, considerable amount for
prestige, and certain proportion for the
novelty OF the thing but neither you
nor are blind to the appeal this elegant
store makes to our vision. | saw several
visitors IN the store last Saturday drawn by
curiosity saw them look around a few mo.
ments and then buy. There are number OF
larger stores in this city; but there is none
better located, none more elegantly lifted,
and none more completely stocked. All
present time am resting my chin on the
rim OF an L. y w. that is much too small
and more too high for me, and this bought
there on last Saturday night simply because
/ found my admiration excited and my
laundry not done. This collar reminds me
OF the excellent goods handled by this
house, and IL also reminds me that next
time must get size larger. II Is not my
province to advise you further than abso-
lute knowledge will Justify; but am ut
peace with the belief that your vislt to this
store on Saturday last will permit you to
indorfe every word have said.

Of centralized localities. ] have no wish to

Of tour through The china and crnckery.
